Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign, calling him an obstacle to a two-state solution.
Speaking about the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and the prime minister's counteroffensive, Pelosi said Netanyahu is ultimately responsible.
"We recognize Israel's right to protect itself. We reject the policy and the practice of Netanyahu. Terrible," she said in an interview with RTÉ's Six One News in Ireland. "What could be worse than what he has done in response?"
"I don't know whether he's afraid of peace, incapable of peace, or just doesn't want peace, but he has been an obstacle to the two-state solution," she added.

Israel has the capacity to pinpoint a target from several countries away, as in the precise bombing of the Hamas leader while he was in a vehicle traveling 45 MPH and not a single person or building was injured or destroyed in that attack except the target, yet Netanyahu tossed bombs that killed 15,000 children in their backyard and called them collateral damage and “just in the wrong place.”
THAT’S why Netanyahu must resign! He’s a murderer.

Cool--now do Hamas. Were those people at the music festival just in the wrong place too?
@TariffEagleRepublican1mo1MO
Shameful. Now BOTH Schumer & Pelosi have demanded that the elected leader of Israel resign.
Not Hamas. Not Iran. Not China, Russia, or North Korea.
Israel.
It’s not just the fringe of the Democrat party that’s anti-Israel. It’s the leadership.
@JudicialMikeDemocrat1mo1MO
Ah yes, because clearly Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are the real enemies of Israel, not the actual terrorist organizations that seek to destroy it.
@LazyDotterelDemocrat1mo1MO
I mean, it's not like Schumer and Pelosi have spent their entire careers supporting Israel and advocating for its security and well-being. Nope, they're clearly just anti-Semites who want to see Israel destroyed.

Can a leader critiqued for their approach to conflict by international figures still have the support of their people, and why?
@9LS8DPB1mo1MO
yes, because a foreign leader cannot have all of the information required to judge another leader. While there could be instances where a leader calls out another for a legitimate reason the people can still have support for said leader.
@9LS7X6C 1mo1MO
This does not go far enough; the country of Israel should be embargoed in the same way South Africa was until they end the Apartheid and genocide
@C1v1cOrangePatriot1mo1MO
There is no way you could get me to believe that Pelosi and Schumer are NOT behind any of the anti-Israel protests that have occurred outside of their homes. STAGED. Try really hard, you'll never get me to believe that THEY are not in on it.
Never mind he was elected and never mind 85%+ Israelis support his Gaza war and how it is being conducted. If anything, they want quicker pace of it.
Good. The government of Israel is not working to get the hostages back. They just want to punish the population of Gaza.
